Parties

Such a fabulous day with Nick and Lindsey. Lindsey is from the Northwest and so the little rain we got outside didn’t even phase her. She and Nick were smiles all day long. And Nick’s two adorable daughters in their cream and gold dresses…perfection! So many more photos I could post, but here’s a snippet of their beautiful day.

I was asked by a good friend and photographer, Kailey Glauser, to be a second photographer at a wedding reception recently. Being a second is lots of fun because you just get to casually walk around and capture all the fun behind-the-scenes photos. I LOVE weddings–everyone is so happy and everything is so beautiful! I am finally at a stage with my kids that I can open my schedule up to weddings…so spread the word! I’d love to capture images like these for many more people! Please share my name and number with anyone getting married!

I got to photograph this sweet little one as an infant and now she’s already a year old!! One of my favorite things as a photographer is to get to see kids grow up over the years in my photos. All of these photos make me smile, but her foot perched up on the cake stand all proper-like kills me!

This photo session happened way back at the end of last summer, but I just realized I never posted it. We had a short time to get a bunch of photos for this beautiful couples’ 50th wedding anniversary. It was a surprise to them that the families had planned this and were all ready to do a big family photo shoot.

We had a surprise party for my Dad’s 70th birthday. Since we were all together we decided to take a big family photo. Because it was in the evening and it is winter, we couldn’t make it work outside, so we were limited to the church gym (admittedly not the best lighting :/). I had to rig some of my usual photo backdrops to work with this large of a group–imagine lots and lots of duct tape–and I forgot my remote so I had to run back and forth in and out of the photo–at least that got all the kids laughing! But here is the result. Thirty-nine people plus one angel already in heaven. Love my family!
